- the user controls 50 the user device 20 to transmit a control message 51 to access controller 30 to trigger an alert by the appropriate lock 10 .
- the control message 50 comprises user authentication information.
- the user authentication information allows the access controller 30 to authorise the user device 20 , as known in the art per se.
- the control message 51 causes the access controller 30 to send an alert message 52 to the electronic lock 10 .
- the user authorisation information is a piece of data used by the user device 20 to gain access to the closed physical space.
- Physical space can be a house, an apartment, a room, a vehicle, a storage or any other closed physical space.
- the user authorisation information is specific the particular user device and cannot be used by any other user device to gain access. It may optionally comprise information about a validity time window, defining when the user device is permitted to unlock the electronic lock 10 .
- the user device 20 can be preconfigured to store the user authorisation information or the user device 20 can be authorised by a home owner directly or via the access controller 30 .

- network e.g. Internet
- the deliverer i.e. user 25
- the deliverer should be in the vicinity 15 of the electronic lock.
- the lock 10 emits an alert signal 53 which the user 25 can experience.
- the alert signal 53 can be presented to the user 25 as a short sound or light signal from the lock 10 or an external device in the vicinity 15 of the lock, connected to the lock.
- vicinity 15 can be defined as within five metres of the lock 10 . In any case, the vicinity 15 is sufficiently small so that the alert signal is distinguishable from alert signals of any other lock.
- the user 25 By triggering the alert signal 53 , the user 25 receives a confirmation that the user is in the correct location. Since the alert signal 53 is emitted from the vicinity 15 of lock 10 , it is confirmed to the user that the user is in the correct location to unlock the lock. Hence, after receiving an unlock user input 56 (e.g. in an application, also known as app, executing in the user device 20 ) from the user 25 , the user device 20 can send an unlock message 57 to the access controller 30 .
- the unlock message 57 comprises the user authentication identification to the access controller 30 .
- the access controller 30 transmits a corresponding unlock command 58 to the electronic lock 10 to be unlocked.
